Incorrect. They have little interest in killing people, because there's little profit in that; they want to sell weapons to people who DO want to kill people.
Yes, but with a DVD check, as long as you have the DVD, the game works. With Internet auth, it works as long as Ubisoft deigns to let it work. I'm not certain that that's much of an improvement.
Why the heck would China bother with something like neutron bombs? They're anti-armor weapons, and it's not like they're going to be fighting massed tank battles with anyone, if things go nuclear. I'm pretty certain the whole 'ER nukes as infrastructure bombs' thing is mythical.
Er, there really isn't any such thing as a scientific 'law' (despite some things being named that way; they were sort of grandfathered in). Nothing is ever 'promoted' from being a theory: science is all hypotheses and theories and supporting evidence, because you can never absolutely prove a theory to be true 'beyond a shadow of a doubt'. This is why science is based on the concept of falsifiability.
That's the problem that makes ID unscientific: it's unfalsifiable. There's absolutely no way to test for the effects of an intelligent creator, or show that said creator didn't do something.
Don't forget Moebius: The Orb of Celestial Harmony, and its sequel Windwalker. I absolutely loved both of those games... I wouldn't mind seeing them brought back.:)
No such things as 'microevolution' and 'macroevolution'. They're just Creationist terms like 'transitional fossil', which introduce false divisions between things in order to dispute them.
A black hole can form in any region where the energy density is greater than a certain threshold (which is a function of the total energy involved). As the amount of energy (or mass) involved increases, the more relaxed this threshold becomes.
For example, if one were to fill the solar system with air (at sea level density, 1.2 kg/m^3) out to about 77 AU, it would be a black hole. For the Sun's mass to become a black hole, it would need to be much more dense, by about 15 million trillion times.
For the relatively small amounts of energy involved in LHC collisions the density needed to form a black hole is staggeringly enormous, but still not impossible to reach. Of course, even if a black hole did form, Hawking radiation would destroy it pretty much instantaneously.
When it comes right down to it, though, the odds of creating a dangerous black hole is effectively zero, as evidenced by the fact that the various bodies of the solar system aren't black holes.
The only way to increase the 'temperature' of a black hole is to reduce its mass, which increases the rate at which it produces Hawking radiation. Dumping EM radiation of any frequency into a black hole will only serve to -increase- its mass.
Stellar-mass and greater black holes are not bright; they're colder than the background radiation. The region surrounding them may be enormously bright, but the black hole is not.

Ah, but their competitors DO have such problems... which were underreported.
Isn't this just a bog-standard ID10-T error?

Glass is an amorphous solid, not a liquid.
I wish they'd get working on Elite 4. :(

Possibly my mostest favouritest of game franchises. Though it doesn't really need a reboot, so much as a decent sequel that's not made by idiots. :)

Potassium > Sodium > Lithium
Wouldn't you need lithium deuteride to see anything interesting happening?
Er... so the worldwide scientific community is conspiring with the democratic agenda?

They were demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass?
Considering that neutron stars seem to be made of nuclear matter and not strange matter, I'd say probably rather low.

If both sides sign it, it does.
The equator of something like this is only moving at around 200km/s, what's unreasonable about that?

Why would it cause evolutionary changes? What selection pressure are we under, exactly?
And you're still missing the point that television and magazines are popular media, not scientific publications.
Heat it or rapidly freeze it in a sealed container? Electrolyze and recombine it?
You have no idea how a nuclear plant works, do you.
